Hysteria.

Listening to Mika now. 'Life In Cartoon Motion', because I only have one song from 'The Boy Who Knew Too Much', and that's 'Rain'.

Anyway, just got back from this exceptionally long boarding assembly, where announcements were made that sort of shocked us all. Interesting changes, yes, definitely interesting.

Today's the last day of February, since it's not a leap year. Meaning tomorrow's the start of March 2011 and the start of yet another month of epic craziness and awesome hectic-ness.

I love life. Sometimes it might be horribly stressful where deadlines have to be met and things have to be worked hard for, and people might die for totally undeserved reasons, and there might be suffering, but without all that bad stuff we wouldn't really be able to acknowledge the good stuff.

Oh yeah, we are living the good stuff. We just don't realise it.

It'd be nice if everyone was nice to everyone else, and that we were generous, open, accepting souls. Then the good stuff would become the better stuff.

If only.

So yeah, Monday today. Did like, stuff.

Mr Chin asked us why women want to go for breast enhancements, and I answered him with one word: men. But it is true, isn't it? Men. Either to attract men, to keep men, to ensnare men, whichever. It's still men. That, and because women don't like feeling inferior to other women.

From what I gather about women, that is.

Watched awesome yet slightly offensive advertisements during English, 'cause Mr Chin is cool like that.

Then had Math. Fun, confusing, vector stuff. Ah vectors.

Physics was lame, as usual. Got sent to the box a few times, just 'cause Mr Yeo felt like it. Feel bad 'cause I accidentally got Cheese and Daryl to write a page-long reflection each. Whoops.

Waves and oscillations and SHM. Must not fail Physics. I'm good, I'm good. That's what I like to tell myself.

And then maybe, just maybe, I won't drop Physics next year. Who knows. We'll see.

Going off now.

Night.

P.S. House meeting? Go Fibo. Awesome Super Mario reenactment, Year 3s. So so proud of Fibo Year 3s.

P.P.S. Congratulations to the cast and crew of 'The King's Speech', for winning four of their twelve Oscar nominations. Best Actor, Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Director. Amazing movie indeed.

我问天

Listening to Hokkien songs on YouTube right now, especially this one, which is the theme song from the famous Taiwanese drama 爱. It reminds me so much of home, and how my grandmother would sit there and watch almost every day without fail and I'd have to turn on the Malay subtitles just so I could understand what they were talking about.

Ah, Taiwanese dramas. They always seem to never end. They just go on forever and ever and ever, losing viewers, gaining new ones, and then old viewers regain and interest while the newer viewers give up on trying to catch up. Scary things.

Pretty much stayed in the hostel today, writing reflections for Chem and getting nothing else done. Oh distractions, go away. I need to delete Safari from my dock. Removes temptation.

Then went out for dinner with Fatinn, Fatin (the junior, and no, I didn't type the same name twice) and Hafiy. Got myself a shirt that says "I'm not confused. ...Wait, just give me a second." I just had to have it, because I seem to live in constant confusion and it's just really ironic.

Came back and room-cleaned. I love that feeling of accomplishment when you clean your room and everything's all clean and smells nice.

Didn't post yesterday 'cause I was too busy doing God-knows-what. Got back late 'cause I went out to watch 'I Am Number Four' with a bunch of random people.

It was a rather inconclusive movie, so I'mma conclude that I won't judge it until I get my hands on the book. I have a feeling it's like the 'Percy Jackson' movie. It made it look horrible and unexplained, but when you read the actual series it is indeed quite awesome.

So yeah, books > movies based on books. 99% of the time.

All right, I'm going to go off now to do something more productive.

Adieu.

P.S. New ear studs are in, and I hope they go unnoticed. I mean, come on, compared to what other people are wearing on their lobes these are tiny. And simple. I don't know what they've got against cartilage piercings.

Pride.

Okay, because I'm too impatient to wait until my 1000th post, I'm going to point out that this is my 900th.

When I think of all the time I've wasted typing these out, it kinda makes me wish I'd never started this blogging thing in the first place. But then I look back at all the awesome things I've written about my life (yes, my ego is huge) and I think, then again, it's not bad after all, to invest some time into recording things worth remembering in the future.

Speaking of things worth remembering, I definitely do not want to remember how today's Bio quiz went down, because I got freaked out halfway through due to the MCQ answers that coincidentally spelt out a certain word, and then I just stopped thinking and I'm probably going to do horribly for it.

Oh well. Lesson learnt. Don't waste time looking for coincidences and don't waste time procrastinating. Bad for you.

Prac was the most unproductive session ever. Probably ever in the history of my life. Got close to nothing accomplished, but that's okay because I bet everyone else didn't get much done either. Oh cell staining, why are you so hard to perfect?

Math was okay, really. Vectors are fine. Every time I look at the word I inevitably think of Vector from 'Despicable Me', and him going "I'm Vector! With both magnitude and direction!". Oh my life is sad.

Econs was well, sleepy, but made some sense, because it is really mostly common sense.

Had the most boring break ever, and then CCA.

I really want us to produce things for CCA, you know. I don't want us to end up all talk with nothing to prove ourselves with. We need videos and without effort that's not going to happen any time sooner.

I need a brainstorming cap or something. I've heard of those. They're supposed to help you think.

Ideas are hard to come by nowadays. Sometimes when they come to you when you're not thinking about it. Hard to force brainstorming, but it's depressing when we're just sitting there and people assume we're not doing anything.

Okay, enough for now. Have other things to be doing.

Night.

P.S. Quote of the day: "Presenting the hit single Tik and also Tok, by the rapper Ke-dollar sign-Ha." Oh Glee.

P.P.S. Speaking of Glee, MCR was on the previous episode of Glee. I'm so proud. They do write good songs, don't they?

Stuffed.

Okay, okay, fast post for tonight, 'cause I've got a cell Bio quiz tomorrow I don't want to fail, and it's late and I'm tired and sleepy but oh so full.

Oh so full.

We only eat like this once a year, so we figured that if we didn't eat all day, we'd have more space to fill with good, free food.

But yeah, I don't know if that's abuse of our National Day celebration. I sure hope not.

Oh that sense of unity amongst Bruneians, where we stuff our faces and take photographs and laugh at ourselves doing stupid things.

I love our National Day celebrations. One of the best events of the year, I think.

Feels so much like a Friday night 'cause yesterday was Thursday, but today's Wednesday and I have a sneaking suspicion this timetable swap thing is messing with my mind.

Had awesome fun during Bio D today, 'cause we got to look at shells and an octopus, a squid, a cuttlefish, and an earthworm (who was still very much alive, unlike the rest of the specimens).

Finished it in time, which was a first. Usually I spend forever drawing the diagrams, but there was only one required for this prac so I had plenty of leftover time to play around with the earthworm.

Okay that's enough for now. Nothing else eventful happened and man I am sleepy.

I think all my energy's been channelled to the digestion of food.

Arrivederci.

P.S. It's time the real work started.

Tug of war.

You know, with all these things going on around the world, it's good to keep yourself updated.

But nowadays I find myself simply refusing to do so. Yeah, knowing how badly we've screwed up the world just makes me sad, and I don't want to intentionally make myself sad.

People dying, destruction, murder, rape, pain, suffering, so much loss. It's horrible, and I just want to live in my little bubble of ignorance-induced peace for a little while longer.

So yeah, in my little bubble of ignorance-induced peace, it's a Thursday today, because our timetable swap dictated it to be so.

PE was quite fun, actually, 'cause we got to tug of war and not run rounds around the track. Arms and shoulders kind of ache from all the pulling, and the strain-taking, but yeah it was awesome fun.

Managed to get John Huang on our team, which was a ridiculously large added bonus to our "d-bag" technique.

Postponed our karangan test to next Tuesday, 'cause we were all tired and dying from PE. Did crosswords instead.

Sat around listening to a lecture on mortality rates during Geog, and then sat around some more when our teacher had to leave. Accomplished very little, and things got weird with sticky-note-sticking.

Wrote a lot during English, 'cause of that essay test we just had to have. Doing English here just raises my insecurities about my ever depreciating standard of English, but I dunno. I still enjoy writing, whether they like it or not. They might not give me As anymore, but I'm cool with that.

Mr Chia cracked some really, really lame jokes during Math, but that's okay, because we're lame enough to laugh along with him.

Stayed in the canteen longer than usual during dinner, 'cause the library's closed tonight, and therefore no study time in the library. We sort of have to fulfill our quota of hanging out together, us hostel people.

Then like, celebrated Jiann Guo's birthday later on in the night, 'cause that's what Bruneians do, we get together to make people less depressed on their birthdays. Go Bruneian unity.

All right, better be going off now.

Night.

P.S. Want to know what Mr Chia thinks is the most amazing coincidence in the world? That his mother and father got married on the same day. How unthinkable.

"I know it's my destiny." -Pokémon OST

Listening to the Pokémon season 1 opening theme at the moment, because I find it highly inspirational.

I mean, just look at the lyrics. "I want to be the very best/Like no one ever was.../I will travel across the land/Searching far and wide/.../It's you and me/I know it's my destiny/Our hearts so true/Our courage will pull us through/.../Every challenge along the way/With courage I will face/I will battle every day/To claim my rightful place/Come with me/The time is right/There's no better team/Arm in arm we'll win the fight/It's always been our dream..."

You see that? It's ridiculously inspirational. It tells us to strive forward, to have dreams and ambitions, and that when we persevere and do the right things and work hard we'll be able to achieve them.

Kids nowadays don't know what they're missing out on. Such legendary (pun intended) Pokémon brilliance.

Oh those were the days, those were the days.

Tomorrow's a Thursday, so I'm bracing myself for PE, but our PE teacher promised us no running this week. Hmm. It's all a matter of trust.

More FFB during Malay today (FFB being Faiz's acronym for 'Frasa-Frasa Berbunga'), and then like, sort of wrote a karangan.

Then had Chem, where we had to deal with drawing out confusing thermochemical cycles and calculating latent energy and things like that. Oh yeah, Chem.

Hung out in 03 before Econs, 'cause that's where all the musical instruments are kept. Turned into an impromptu jamming/sort-of-campfire singing session. Fun. Which reminds me why I need to expand my popular generic pop song repertoire.

Almost fell asleep during Econs, but you know, pulled through. Must've been the high-ness breakdown from yesterday.

Okay, I'mma go off now. Have Geog to read up on.

Night.

P.S. Are we in a huge mess tomorrow, or what? PE first thing in the morning, followed by a karangan test, followed by a Geog sharing session, followed by an essay test for English. Oh so much writing.

The Doppler Effect.

Waiting for Glee to load, so I'm here to talk about life.

Which I do pretty much every day, so not much difference there.

So yeah, it's the start of a new week today. Went through things during English, and did some integration during Math, but when Physics came by everyone (in our half of the class) was higher than usual (and that's saying a lot, 'cause we're sort of high in every single class).

Must be the green tea. I'm unsure.

But man were we high. Lame jokes all around, yeah.

Yos and I came to some sort of revelation in class. What's most weird about our school is not that we make lame, extremely nerdy jokes regular people wouldn't find funny, but that we find our jokes absolutely hilarious.

Why? What's wrong with us? God knows.

But you know, it's good to have things to laugh about, nerdy and no-lifer or not.

Okay, going off now. Have television shows to watch, and work to do.

Night.

P.S. The Big Bang Theory references in class ftw. I love 405.

P.P.S. Mass 203 convo on MSN now. Man I miss 203.

The King's Speech.

Listening to Guns N' Roses at the moment, because sometimes you just need to be reminded of how sweet, sweet rock used to sound like.

It's funny how a lot of songs that make the charts nowadays are sort of generic pop songs that'll be forgotten in a few years. Certain music groups from the old days though, those last forever.

Went out today with Kelvin, Woan Chyi, Adithya and Colin, 'cause we haven't been out together in a long time, and there are movies to be watched.

Lunched at Marché before Woan Chyi left us early and we went to watch 'The King's Speech'.

I've been wanting to watch this particular movie ever since Colin Firth (who my mum absolutely adores 'cause of his performance in 'Pride and Prejudice') won a Golden Globe for Best Actor in it.

And yes, now I say that he totally deserved it. Most amazing acting.

It's like when he stutters, you feel for him. Each pause makes you want to urge him on, and it hurts you inside too, when he doesn't seem to able to find his words.

Oh, and that chemistry he has with Geoffrey Rush.

I have to admit that I absolutely loved this movie. It was stunning, enrapturing, simple, yet so brilliantly pieced together. Superb acting, great use of the rule of thirds, and amazingly entertaining dialogue. Mm yeah.

It kind of makes me feel like I want to become a director when I'm older (makes me sound so naïve, doesn't it?).

It'd be an awesome job. I'd be like Peter Jackson, or Tim Burton, except I wouldn't have a beard, or look unkempt pretty much all the time. But great minds don't have to worry about outer appearance, do they? They're bloody rich and sought after. What does that matter?

Okay, it's a Monday tomorrow, so sleep is required for the start of a new week.

Adieu.

P.S. Here's the vlog I shot yesterday, brought to you by Pepsi.

Pervert smile.

Listening to 'Let It Be' by The Beatles ('cause I like to state the obvious), 'cause Wee Thean's grown a sudden obsession with them and tagged us on Facebook about it.

Mmm yeah. I need more songs by The Beatles. I think people with parents growing up in the "Beatles era" would definitely be familiar with them. Sad for those who don't, though. Such legends.

Busy day today.

Went out to the High Comm again to like, do stuff. Practiced national anthems for a bit, then tried to teach Faiz how to whistle (I have epic footage of this, which will probably go up on Facebook sometime soon).

People should definitely know how to whistle. To me, it's like one of those life skills you can't go without. It's cool to know how to whistle, you know? I don't understand how people don't bother learning how. Maybe it's 'cause I'm so old and been whistling since I was about seven, and therefore can't remember what it's like to not be able to whistle. Who knows.

Came back, then had to go out straight away for our cluster outing (in a café really, really far away from school).

Had fun, actually. Who says I don't talk to the hostel girls in my year? I totally do. They're fun to talk to.

Ended up waiting forever for our food to arrive, so arrived back here pretty late. Now I've got like, work to do and sleep to have.

Okay, going off now. Been a long day.

Night.

P.S. Boon Xin claims I have a "pervert smile". What exactly defines a pervert smile?

Creepy.

Oh the internet connection.

It's starting to become habitual, this complaining about our hostel internet connection. But it's just so frustratingly atrocious, one has to vent, or one'll probably explode.

It's sad because it's like my life revolves around the Internet. Which sort of makes writing for English nowadays easier, 'cause it's all about mass media, and I basically live off media.

I have to say, I think I might be in love with Boyce Avenue's cover of Chris Brown's 'Forever'. It's a great song, and they've brought it down to a level that makes it feel especially intimate. It's a thing acoustic covers do, very much like Jake Bruene's cover of Katy Perry's 'Firework' (to be honest with you, the original version bugs me because I don't think Katy Perry's supposed to reach those notes).

School today was a session of information overloading during Bio, Math test during Math, pseudo daydreaming during Econs, and epic amounts of lameness during Physics.

Meiosis is an amazingly awesome process. Such randomness. There will never be another me (or the chances of that happening are ridiculously teeny, and therefore negligible), or another you, or another anyone else who's ever existed on this planet. One and only. Sure, there might be alternate universes out there, but that's another story.

Math test was passable, so let's just leave it at that.

I like that Geog concepts can be applied in answering Econs questions. I like Geog, and I think I might like Econs as well. We'll see how it turns out. It's sad that I come to a Math and Science school to want to major in humanities subjects. I think I might be a failure.

Mr Yeo injured his ankle, so therefore in addition to his constantly lame jokes, we had literal lameness in class today. Oh so very, very lame. Puns are like, the lowest form of jokes, in my opinion.

Remind me to start being productive during CCA.

Okay, I'mma be off now. Have Glee to watch.

Adieu.

P.S. I'm a week behind the Shaytards' vlogs. Have I really been that busy? I doubt it.

The Truman Show.

All right, I've finally managed to overcome Internet connection-related problems long enough to come here and post about it.

Been off Twitter all day 'cause of school and the mysterious sudden lack of wifi in my room. How strange.

Oh, it's so slow, but you know, Twitter needs me (or rather, vice versa). Heard about Shar and Manda meeting up with Ashley, and Stella and I just felt horribly envious. Why aren't we ever in Brunei when things happen?

Tired, but the weekend's just around the corner, and therefore it's okay to stay up late because Fridays are awesome that way.

It's been ridiculously fast, this week. It's like just yesterday it was Sunday and we were dreading yet another week of school ahead of us. But in the blink of an eye, like whoa, where did my week go?

PE today, which made the rest of the day pass by in a sort of blur. Like you're tired but you're not. It's hard to describe.

Spent the break before Malay talking to Rania and MJ about TalentSearch. Decisions, decisions. Do I join? Do I not join? If I do, what songs do I do? If I don't, would it feel weird 'cause a lot of people I know are joining?

I might do it, you know. It's just that I don't want to seem horribly desperate.

Nah, I'll be fine.

English was sort of torturous. It's not that I didn't like the movie Mr Chin showed us (The Truman Show). In fact, I thought it was quite good. But you know, the (purposely) awkward camera angles and (intentionally) horrible script almost killed me inside.

It gets you thinking, it does. It makes you wonder about things, about reality, about why people are so weird, et cetera. Oh so confused.

Better go off now. Math test tomorrow and I'd want to be prepared for that.

Night.

P.S. Why is the hostel printer so unreliable?

Butt worms.

Here's me wishing I had more songs from Chameleon Circuit, because they're awesome. But the internet connection is so slow I can't really check any more out, and if I wanted to download any it'd take me ages.

Listening to Kurt Schneider's cover of 'I Will Follow You Into The Dark' now, 'cause I totally support YouTubers.

Wednesday today, so we did stuff like Bio D, and Math, and skipping Da Vinci.

Yeah, about that. Kind of sort of volunteered to manage the slideshow presentation for our research congress 2011, so was able to hang around the Audi control room all afternoon. How fun and productive, yeah.

We're ahead of most classes for Bio D, so did some epic slacking in class. Watched random videos about molluscs and marine creatures and whatnot.

Quiz was retarded.

Short post for today, 'cause honestly, nothing much happened.

Adieu.

P.S. The EOS photography competition we've been talking about has a new theme of the month. Hopefully our gusto doesn't die down.

"Did you just say the -word?"

There's an unplugged live performance of 'Sunday Morning' by Maroon 5 on YouTube, and I can't seem to find it. But I know it's there, 'cause I've seen it before and absolutely loved it.

Now I don't know where it went and that makes me sad. Sometimes you just get those cravings.

Monday today. I just felt like saying that 'cause tomorrow's a Wednesday and it's weird that way. Wednesday will be Tuesday though. Which means that our Bio quiz gets pushed forward to tomorrow. Yay.

So yeah, had English, where we talked about the mass media. Again.

Math was about more integration. Was kinda sad 'cause Mr Chia was stressed over us not knowing how to do our graded exercise. I guess this translates into more motivation to do well for the test. It sucks seeing teachers depressed over our results. Well, most teachers.

Practical-ed during Physics. Had horrible luck with our equipment, but managed to pull through, 'cause Yos is one of those people who hardly ever screw up for a practical.

But now we've got a problem, 'cause he forgot to send ourselves part of the data. Oh so complicated.

Tried to brainstorm during CCA, but just like, died. Was ridiculously cold in the library. It sort of froze up my brain or something.

Watched Ash, Jun Han and Chee Ying film some random video instead. I still think we don't have enough equipment to go around.

Went out to eat afterwards, because we were trying to find out who Aisyah's "hot guy" is. Ended up not accomplishing anything at all, and then GG-ed when I got back.

Oh so tired.

Need sleep now.

Adieu.

P.S. Oh, and happy Valentine's day.

Candy.

Valentine's Day is tomorrow, and that's probably been the highlight of my day (and this here vlog).

How depressing is it that I'm seventeen and still single? It's probably okay to be single, but when you look at all the other people around you sort of hooking up, you wonder what you've been doing wrong.

Honestly, what have I been doing wrong? Is it that I don't know how or where to look to find a boyfriend? I'm unsure.

But yeah, it doesn't really bother me as much as it shows. It's okay to be single, you know. I've got my whole life ahead of me, and I think I might want to appreciate single life for the time being. It's a good thing.

Went out with Fatinn to WCP for lunch and to buy shampoo, had fun teasing Jihyun for a while, then went out again to meet my cousin at City Hall.

It's cool, 'cause we're totally (sort of) globalised people. Yeah, we're Bruneian, but we don't live in Brunei. We get to see the world, and we get to experience things others at home don't get to. We're living the life, man.

Plagued by constant travel, but if you don't move you can't get anywhere, no.

Bought two Garth Nix books I'll want to read some time soon, hopefully after our Bio quiz this week. We'll see how it turns out. If I organise my time right.

Okay, going off now. Have some random YouTube videos to watch.

P.S. Some people have suggested I upload my videos onto YouTube, but who'll watch them then?

The Black Parade Is Dead!

Listening to 'The Black Parade Is Dead!' after buying it way back in January, because sometimes you just need the right moment to start something epic.

And the right moment was when I came back from out and realised that Gerard Way was (and still is) trending on Twitter.

Oh man, that sense of sudden, epic belonging to a group of people around the world who absolutely adore Gerard Way and My Chemical Romance.

My iTunes is now a happy, happy application, with 77 MCR songs. I still don't have the full 'I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love' yet, but that's okay, because the songs are a bit too messy (oh I feel so bad for saying that).

My Chemical Romance. It's funny how many times a year I fall head over heels in love with this band. It's like I know that no matter what, or no matter how my taste in music changes, I know I'll still have MCR to love. It's a great feeling.

Feeling kinda mad at myself at the moment for not accomplishing anything today (but I will after I type out this here post, I promise).

Went to the music room this morning with Fatinn, followed by lunch with Fatinn and Woan Chyi, and then out to the High Comm to like, do stuff.

Watched a movie after that at Cineleisure. 'Just Go With It' is a sweet movie. I'd totally rewatch it, actually, even if it was just for the sake of seeing that guy who plays 'Howard' in Glee talk about sheep for like, two seconds.

Okay, going off now.

Arrivederci.

P.S. Have vlog footage for editing, where I talk about how it's going to be my seventeenth Valentine's Day single this year. Am I worried about never being able to get a boyfriend? Nah.

Narcissistic.

Listening to Coldplay's 'Moses' now, because I randomly clicked and that's where my mouse ended up.

It's a good song, yeah.

Can barely keep my eyes open at the moment, but yeah, it's a Friday night and deep inside I'm feeling completely elated. The weekend's here, which means I can finally wake up considerably later than on weekdays. Yay.

Physics in-class assignment this morning was all right. Mr Yeo wasn't here so Mr Yuen came to give it to us. Attempted to con him into thinking it was open book, but he didn't fall for it. But it was okay closed book anyway.

Had Bio straight after that. Some confusing mitosis stuff.

Had Math right after Bio, and Econs right after Math. Having a string of lessons back-to-back kind of drains you, but it's good to have everything out of the way before a long break up to CCA, 'cause there was no Physics in the afternoon.

Went over to 03 to play around with their musical equipment. Fun stuff, that.

Kind of accomplished nothing during CCA, 'cause we ended up just sitting around trying to hack into Victoria's iPhone and making it look like we were brainstorming instead.

Had dinner out with Wai Yin, MJ, Woan Chyi, Wee Thean, KT and Adithya after CCA. Been wanting to go out for a week, so my stomach feels quite satisfied with the amount and quality of food I've put in it tonight. Oh Rocky's Pizza has such awesome pizza. And it's gentle on the wallet, too.

Played half-pool half-Munchkin Quest (a way more awesome yet way more tediously complicated version of Munchkin) with Woan Chyi, Wee Thean and KT after we walked back.

Is it nerdy that we spent our Friday night playing nerdy board games? I think so.

Okay, falling asleep as I type. I must be really, really boring in order to have put myself to sleep while typing.

Night.

Invasion.

Tired, but man it's a Friday tomorrow, so I'm definitely in no mood to sleep early.

Although yeah, that all depends on my physical capability to stay awake.

Almost died during PE today, because I'm just so horribly unfit. It's so uncool to be unfit. I'm uncool that way. It's sad, 'cause when you know you used to go for training six days a week, and could do splits, and now feel as if you can't do a thing, it's like you've just let yourself go.

Oh man, what have I done to myself?

Tsk I disappoint me.

Having Malay and Geog back to back in three and a half hours is kind of brain-numbing. It's like in Malay we sort of attempt to do things in a language where I have close to no mastery, and in Geog we sort of attempt to do things in a language where I perhaps have some grasp of, but have nothing to say.

Yeah I do like Geog, but it's just that it's like we're not actually learning anything. This population stuff just needs some common sense, and I find myself wishing for more physical geog, 'cause that way we actually learn new things.

Slept during English. Not because I'm insolent or anything, but 'cause Mr Chin's on childcare leave (according to Wee Thean) and I was tired.

Did more integration during Math. Felt like I was dying, because you know, it's Math, and you know, it was the end of the day. Horribleness.

Okay, going off now. Sleep is needed.

Night.

P.S. The Year 5s' post-CNY dinner reminded us it's our turn to stay in the hostel next year. Oh God help us (those who're already staying here).

Sparklers.

Oh man, feeling hungry right now, but dinner's in a while so I'm cool to wait.

Usually I blog at night, but lately I've been sick (like, literally) and tired, so you know, I try to sleep earlier. Try. And end up not posting, because it makes me feel as if I'm not staying up to do things.

Anyway, school's been fine. Deadlines approaching, and here's hoping to us getting by them.

Bio was really disgusting today, 'cause Ms Lim showed us horrifying images of worms crawling out of people in colour. It was terrible. No, I don't like being shown revolting things. There's no reason to scar myself permanently.

Math was all about finding the area under graphs through integration. Oh so fun, so fun.

Did our Chem project practical today, and finished it under an hour. Perhaps it was 'cause our experiment was pretty simple compared to others, or maybe it was 'cause of Yos' epic efficience. Or both. I think both.

Had time to spare, so Insan and Kian Wee tried to stack and unstack our styrofoam cups like those cup stacking pros. Conclusion: This stuff ain't easy.

Kind of almost fell asleep during Da Vinci, but managed to keep myself awake. It's kind of horrible to sit in the front row during a mass lecture, because whoever's speaking is just there right in front of you and it's a bit creepy.

Okay, going off now. Need to shower and like, do laundry.

Arrivederci.

P.S. I have this ever-growing urge to go out and eat my heart out. It's awesome because that means my appetite is finally back.

Talking iMacs.

Been fighting a fever ever since I got back, and I'm glad to say I'm winning. Take that, foreign bodies.

Speaking of Take That, I'm listening to them at the moment. I only have two songs, but they are a really good pair of songs.

Anyway, been out for a while 'cause I got taken over by some massive throat infection that took away my voice for two days (which is horrible because I really do like to talk, and I kinda like the sound of my own voice).

People go home for CNY to eat their hearts out and put on loads of weight, but I lost weight instead. I'm not quite sure if this is a good thing though, 'cause losing weight 'cause of illness isn't good weight lost.

English was okay, 'cause of Joo Kee's epic racism, and Math was okay too, 'cause of Mr Chia's magical equation-solving.

Physics was funny, 'cause of Mr Yeo's weird demos. It's like everyone in our school has the potential to be really, really retarded.

And because we're weird that way, we think people acting like retards is funny.

Got weirded out during CCA. Got rickrolled by one of our iMacs after we realised it started talking. At first it was just random phrases, and then it started quoting Rick Astley. It was weird.

Okay, going off now. I have Glee to watch.

Night.

P.S. Hearing news about Kubica's crash kinda made me realised how close the new F1 season is. Oh how I've missed it.

P.P.S. Apparently a lot of people have Googled 'My iMac is talking to me'. How interesting.

Nerdy jokes.

Because I have to meet people downstairs to head off to the airport, I'm going to post a few lame jokes here before I do as a filler.

CNY celebration was okay, but Yos kept being racist, and the Bio prac was fun. One of my ear studs is stuck in my ear and I can't get it out, but it should be fine once I get my dad to help me out because he's a guy and has more finger-power.

Either that, or I might start rockin' the mismatched ear stud look for CNY this year. Who knows. I might be the new trend.

Okay, filler joke time.

An engineer, a mathematician and a physicist are staying in the same hotel. A fire breaks out on the three floors they're on. The engineer wakes up, grabs the trash can, runs to the bathroom, fills the can and douses the flames before heading back to bed. The physicist wakes up and sees the fire. He grabs the notepad on the night-stand, determines the exact amount of water needed to put out the fire, collects that amount of water and puts out the fire. The mathematician wakes up, sees the fire and also grabs the notepad on his night-stand. He sits on the edge of his bed calculating the amount of water required to put out the fire. After a few moments, he stands up and shouts "A solution exists!" before going back to bed.

Descartes walks into a bar and the bartender asks "The usual, Descartes?"

Descartes replies "I don't think.." and disappears. (This one is my personal fave. So, so funny.)


Einstein, Pascal, and Newton are playing hide and go seek. Einstein is counting while Newton and Pascal hide. Pascal runs off and hides while Newton doesn't move an inch. Instead, he draws a square around himself in the dirt. After Einstein finishes counting, he opens his eyes and says, "Found you Newton! That was easy."

Newton says, "No you didn't. You found Pascal." He points down to the square in the dirt. "One Newton per meter squared."


A mechanical engineer, electrical engineer and a software engineer were driving a car down a mountain pass when the brakes start to go out. After frantically getting the car down the mountain and rolling it to a stop, all three engineers jump out.

The mechanical engineer starts jacking up the car to take the front wheels off. "The brake pads must be wore out", he says.

The electrical engineer pops open the hood. "There must be a loose connection here somewhere", he says.

The software engineer turns to the other two and says, "Let's drive it back up and see if the problem happens again."



Some helium floats into a bar. The bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve noble gases here." The helium doesn't react.


Okay, off now.

Adieu.


P.S. I love being Chinese, actually.

Dolly.

Will be in a plane in exactly twenty-four hours' time, on my way back to home sweet home and the bliss of celebrating traditional Chinese events.

Oh feeling so chuffed.

Haven't packed yet though. It scares me, because it seems like the more I travel the later I leave my packing till. It's not apathy; it's more like I know what I want to do, so I'm not worrying so much about it anymore.

Was listening to The White Stripes earlier on. I like their songs because Jack White has this penchant for ridiculously sexy riffs.

Now 'Show Me How To Live' by Audioslave has come up on my iTunes playlist, and I just had to turn it up. I absolutely adore this song. Also, I've kinda become conditioned to listening to it really loud 'cause I like to drum to this song.

Today's a Friday, because we had a timetable switch and as I always say, we kinda tend to deduce the day of the week by the subjects we take on that day, and not vice versa. And therefore today's a Friday.

It's ridiculous. It feels like a Friday, but we all know it isn't.

Cell Bio was fun. Teacher has a sense of humour, and I think I'm liking him increasingly every lesson.

Did some integration during Math (which I've totally forgotten how to do). Mr Chia rocks, because he says the funniest things without actually intending to be funny, and when we crack up in class he's all like, "Excuse me, can I have your attention please?". Oh man, inside jokes.

Econs was pretty weird, 'cause we spent half our time cutting up pieces of coloured paper and the other half listening to our teacher talk about scarcity and how countries should trade and cooperate with each other.

Pretty clueless during Physics. It's kind of sad, because although I would love to take all three Sciences next year, I have to face reality and admit that I just can't do it.

Some (many) things I'm just not cut out for, you know.

CCA, CCA. So much stuff I don't know about my own CCA. Pretty sad, but you know, one can learn.

Internet connection's acting up pretty strangely, so going off now before it like, explodes or something.

Night.

P.S. Speaking of spontaneous combustion, we had our fire drill today. No, we couldn't set anyone on fire, and it ate into our break time, so yeah. Not really ideal.
